Citizen's 2026 Super Titanium collection brings together twelve 40 mm Eco-Drive watches: four slim three-hand AW1900 models, four lightweight AT2590 chronographs and four higher-specification CA4750 chronographs.
All three ranges combine Citizen's light-powered technology with Super Titanium, but they are not simply colour variations of the same watch. The movements, power reserves, case thicknesses, crystal and water resistance differ between the three series.
That makes the real question not just which dial colour you prefer, but which of the three new Citizen Super Titanium designs best suits the way you intend to wear your watch.
The 2026 release represents a more traditional side of Citizen's titanium design. Rather than using the angular integrated styling associated with collections such as Zenshin, these watches use a classic round case and straightforward bracelet design.
That makes them particularly suitable as everyday watches. The 40 mm diameter is versatile, while Super Titanium reduces weight compared with an equivalent stainless-steel construction.
The complete range is now available in the Citizen Super Titanium collection at WatchXL.
Prices currently start at €249 for the three-hand AW1900 models, with the chronograph ranges positioned above them.
They also form part of WatchXL's wider collection of men's watches.
The timing of this collection is significant because 2026 marks 50 years since Citizen introduced the Crystron Solar Cell in 1976, the world's first light-powered analogue quartz watch.
Citizen's titanium history goes back even further. In 1970, the company released the X-8 Chronometer, which Citizen identifies as the world's first wristwatch with a titanium case.
Those two developments eventually evolved into technologies now strongly associated with the brand:
Citizen's light-powered technology converts natural or artificial light into electrical energy and stores surplus energy in a rechargeable power cell.
Citizen treats titanium with its proprietary Duratect surface-hardening technology to create a lighter and harder watch material with greater resistance to everyday scratches.
This new collection is interesting precisely because these technologies are being used in relatively straightforward watches rather than only in expensive or highly complicated Citizen models.
The four AW1900 models form the most straightforward part of the new collection. They have a traditional three-hand layout, date display, 40 mm case and a particularly slim profile.
Citizen uses the J810 Eco-Drive caliber. The movement offers a power reserve of up to approximately 240 days after a full charge and an accuracy of approximately ±15 seconds per month.
The case is only about 9.5 mm thick, while current WatchXL specifications put the weight at approximately 78 grams. For a watch with a full metal bracelet, that is notably light.
The AW1900 also uses Citizen's Ring Solar technology. Rather than placing a conventional solar cell visibly across the dial, the light-sensitive element is arranged around its perimeter.
This gives Citizen greater freedom with the dial itself and helps the AW1900 retain the appearance of a conventional analogue watch.
The four current versions use black, blue, green and silver-toned dials.
If everyday simplicity is more important to you than stopwatch functions, the AW1900 is arguably the most logical starting point within this new series.
The AT2590 series moves from a simple three-hand layout to a chronograph without making the watch dramatically larger.
These models are still 40 mm across and approximately 10.2 mm thick. WatchXL lists them at only about 84 grams, so they remain lightweight despite the additional subdials and chronograph mechanism.
The H504 Eco-Drive caliber provides:
The current models are water-resistant to 5 ATM. The AT2590 is therefore better understood as a lightweight everyday chronograph than as a dedicated sports or swimming watch.
It is available in black, blue, green and silver-coloured versions.
If the chronograph function is one of your main buying criteria, compare these models with the wider WatchXL collection of chronograph watches.
The CA4750 series is the more premium of the two chronograph options.
It still uses a versatile 40 mm Super Titanium case, but the case is slightly thicker at approximately 11.6 mm and the weight rises to around 91 grams. Even so, it remains light for an all-metal chronograph.
Citizen's B620 Eco-Drive movement provides stopwatch timing, 24-hour display, date and a low-charge indicator. The maximum power reserve is approximately 270 days.
The CA4750 also adds two practical specifications that distinguish it clearly from the AT2590:
Sapphire provides excellent resistance to everyday scratches, while the anti-reflective treatment helps improve dial readability in bright conditions.
This gives the CA4750 greater versatility around water than the simpler AW1900 and AT2590 versions.
If sapphire crystal is particularly important to you, you can also compare the wider selection of watches with sapphire crystal at WatchXL.
Citizen's Super Titanium should not be confused with untreated titanium.
Citizen applies its Duratect surface-hardening technology to titanium to improve its resistance to scratches while retaining the low weight and corrosion resistance that make titanium attractive for watches.
According to Citizen, Super Titanium is approximately 40% lighter than stainless steel and has a surface hardness approximately five times greater.
That is particularly relevant here because every model uses a full metal bracelet. A steel chronograph with a comparable case and bracelet can feel considerably heavier.
The real-world result is evident in the current specifications:
All three therefore remain relatively light despite their solid-metal construction.

Although the three series use different calibers, they all rely on Citizen Eco-Drive.
Eco-Drive converts natural and artificial light into electrical energy. Surplus energy is stored in a rechargeable power cell so the watch can continue operating when no light is available.
This means there is no routine disposable battery replacement as with a conventional battery-powered quartz watch.
The different movements demonstrate that Eco-Drive is not one single caliber:
Used in the AW1900 three-hand models, with approximately 240 days of power reserve.
Used in the slimmer AT2590 chronographs, with approximately 180 days of power reserve.
Used in the CA4750 chronographs, with approximately 270 days of power reserve and additional low-charge indication.

You can also compare Citizen with other brands in WatchXL's solar-powered watch collection.
This is the best fit if you want a slim, lightweight Eco-Drive watch for everyday use and do not need a stopwatch. It is also the most affordable entry into the new collection.
The H504 models give you chronograph styling and timing functions while remaining only about 10.2 mm thick and 84 grams.
Choose this series if sapphire crystal, 10 ATM water resistance and the longer 270-day power reserve justify the higher price for you.
Once you have selected the series, choosing between black, blue, green and silver is largely a matter of personal style.
The strength of this collection is not a single headline feature. It is the combination of useful technologies in watches with practical dimensions and relatively accessible prices.
The AW1900 is the straightforward everyday choice. The AT2590 adds chronograph functionality without much extra bulk. The CA4750 moves the specification higher with sapphire crystal, 10 ATM water resistance and a longer power reserve.
All twelve combine these differences with the same basic advantages of Eco-Drive and Super Titanium: light-powered quartz timekeeping and low-weight metal construction.
